Kyrgyzstan

I first went to Kyrgyzstan in 1997. We (Canadian church) helped develop a new bible college in Tokmok, Kyrgyzstan. In 1998, I began helping orphan children in that region. One of the students from the college volunteered to help me develop that assistance to the orphans and on a later trip, I was looking at some of the pictures he had from their work, and I noticed a young husband and wife who were always in the pictures. I asked him, who are these people? He said, "That's Sergey and Anya Bazhenov. They always come out to help us." I then asked, "Do you pay them anything?" And he said, "No. They just really love to help the kids." I knew right away that I had found the new directors of our orphan ministry in Kyrgyzstan!

Since those days, Sergey and Anya have developed an impressive web of orphanages, hospitals and seniors homes that they are currently working to transform. For me, it's been amazing and a great honor to personally witness the miracles that they have been a part of in their beautiful homeland. Several churches and organizations have partnered with us to see that the miracles continue. Two special partners that I have are listed here ... please click on their pictures to learn more about the great things they are doing ...
